Renovated Khalifa International Stadium in Doha features advanced cooling systems and state-of-the-art sports lighting, audio visual services, and a larger roof structure, enhancing the spectator experience for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Sports Lighting Design, Audio Visual Services
The Khalifa International Stadium, first built in 1976, was extensively renovated and expanded in 2017 to hold 40,000 spectators. It will host matches until the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament.
Renovated and expanded by local architecture firm Dar Al-Handasah, the ground was installed with a technologically advanced cooling system, which the organising committee behind the World Cup claims will keep the pitch at 26°C and the stands at 24-28°C year-round, “while using 40 per cent less energy than traditional cooling methods.”
A larger roof has also been added over the entire spectator area, with an intricate net of steel tension cables weighing 4,000 tonnes holding 92 panels in place.
Webb Australia was commissioned for the sports lighting and video scoreboards, along with sound reinforcement and audio visual services.
